"Tea Party"

o"Tea Party" is my second oil painting and is a 9x12 on canvas. Our class did a value study and we chose one color and painted the picture with only that color but using the full value spectrum from the darkest dark to the lightest light of that color. I gave this one as a gift.

"Trial and Error"
16x20 oil on canvas
First off, this is my copy of a Trisha Adams painting. Trisha's choice of color and style makes her paintings by far a leader in modern impressionism. I love her work and I have wanted to try the loose impressionistic style for awhile but haven't really had the opportunity. When I saw her painting like this one I knew that was the one I was going to copy to try my hand at impressionism. Its not as easy as it looks but I am happy with the outcome. I still prefer realism but at least now I know I can do it if I want to. This painting is not for sale since it is a copy, and I don't know the name of her painting but I would like to say thanks Trisha for making such a beautiful painting for me to copy. Maybe one day I will be able to do a workshop with her!

"Noah's Ark Mural"
I painted this mural for my church, Morningview Baptist in Montgomery, in the preschool/nursery hall. This was my first large scale mural and it took almost 40 hours to complete. It wraps around to a third wall to the left of this picture but I could not get it all in the picture.

This
is Latin for Peacock Hand Left. I
have been out of work for 8 weeks due to right arm surgery. My daughter
suggested I try to do an abstract with my left hand. I did
impressionism instead. She is a 24x48 palette
knife oil painting on canvas.
